Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

When Xu Damao was imagining how to step on He Yuzhu and rub him, Jia Dongxu suddenly came out from the corner and bumped into Xu Damao. Xu Damao stumbled and fell to the ground, and Jia Dongxu pressed on Xu Damao.

After Xu Damao pushed Jia Dongxu away, he got up from the ground and yelled at Jia Dongxu: "Are you blind?! Don't you even look before you walk?!"

Jia Dongxu looked at Xu Damao and said, "What's going on?! The market hasn't been rising for a few days, right?!"

"What are you two doing?!" Just then, a security guard who was patrolling the factory came over from a distance. Jia Dongxu hurriedly said, "It's okay! It's okay! I didn't pay attention just now and bumped into Xu Damao." Then Jia Dongxu said hello to Xu Damao and left in disgrace.

The security personnel looked at Xu Damao and continued patrolling without saying anything. Xu Damao was not someone who was willing to suffer a loss. After Jia Dongxu and the security personnel left, they looked towards the place where Jia Dongxu came out. Driven by curiosity, Xu Damao walked over.

Soon, Xu Damao walked to a wall and carefully checked it. There was nothing unusual. Although Xu Damao didn't believe that Jia Dongxu would come here for no reason, he didn't notice anything unusual. Although he was unwilling, he had to go back.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Xu Damao returned to the courtyard. Seeing the strangers coming in and out, Xu Damao asked, "Third Aunt, who are they?!"

The third aunt replied, "They were the ones who helped He Yuzhu repair the house. Yi Zhonghai's wife felt sorry for He Yuzhu and his sister, so she gave the house to them and went to live with her nephew in another place. But He Yuzhu was also generous. He gave all the two rooms that Yi Zhonghai's wife gave them as compensation to He Yushui."

"Hey?! I really didn't realize it?! This guy Shazhu treats his sister really well?!" Xu Damao muttered, said hello to the third aunt, and walked towards the backyard.

"Da Mao, why aren't you going to work today?!" Qin Huairu, who was washing vegetables by the sink, took the initiative to greet Xu Damao when she saw him. Xu Damao walked to Qin Huairu's side with a smile, and while looking at Qin Huairu, he thought to himself: "What kind of shit luck did Jia Dongxu have?! He actually got to marry such a wife. This Qin Huairu has both good looks and a good figure." Then Xu Damao daydreamed for more than ten seconds and replied: "I'm not not going to work. I'm taking a break today." Then he asked: "Qin Huairu, Yi Zhonghai's house was given to Sha Zhu, don't you and Dongxu feel bad?!"

Qin Huairu replied: "Didn't you say it? This is Yi Zhonghai's house. Since it belongs to someone else, whoever he wants to give it to has nothing to do with me?!"

"I'm glad you don't feel bad!" Xu Damao muttered, glanced at Yi Zhonghai's house, and walked towards the backyard humming a tune.

Qin Huairu looked at Xu Damao's back and suddenly had the urge to chop him to pieces. However, this thought only flashed through her mind.

Meanwhile, in the steel mill, in the director’s office.

"Dingle bell! Dingle bell!"

Director Yang, who was reading a document, heard the phone ring suddenly. He reached out and picked up the phone and asked, "I'm Yang Changzheng, who is this?!"

"Lao Yang, this is Lao Lou!" Lou Bancheng's voice came from the phone.

Director Yang smiled and asked, "Old Lou, what's the matter?!"

Lou Bancheng said, "Old Yang, I heard that our steel mill has a second-level chef?!"

Director Yang joked, "Old Lou, you are really well-informed! I just took the test on Sunday, and you know it so quickly?!"

Lou Bancheng said, "Old Yang, the day after tomorrow is my wife's birthday. I would like to borrow this second-level chef, is it possible?!"

Director Yang replied, "If someone else comes to borrow it, that's definitely not allowed. But if you come to borrow it, there's no problem. I'll notify him later." Then he asked, "Should I give him the address and let him go to your house by himself? Or should you send someone to pick him up?!"

Lou Bancheng replied, "Give him the address and ask him to come directly in the morning. Don't forget to come over for a quick meal in the evening."

Director Yang said, "Old Lou, it's not that I don't give you face, but I have too many things to do these days. I won't go. I will come to apologize another day."

Lou Bancheng said, "You are busy! I won't bother you then."

"Okay! I'll notify He Yuzhu right away and ask him to come to your house the day after tomorrow morning." After that, Director Yang said hello to Lou Bancheng, hung up the phone, and called to the door, "Xiao Zhao, come in for a moment."

Secretary Zhao heard the call, pushed the door open and walked in, and asked, "Director, what's the matter?!"

Director Yang said, "Xiao Zhao, go to the cafeteria and talk to He Yuzhu. Ask him to go to Lou Bancheng's house the day after tomorrow morning. And give He Yuzhu the address."

"Yes!" Secretary Zhao responded and left Director Yang's office.

After the office door was closed, the smile on Director Yang's face disappeared, and he muttered: "Why does Lou Bancheng celebrate his wife's birthday at this time?!" After thinking for a while, Director Yang couldn't find the answer, so he could only smile bitterly and continue to work on the things at hand.

Gao Yao, who was patrolling the cafeteria, saw Secretary Zhao suddenly coming. Thinking that he was going to be entertained, he hurried over and asked, "Secretary Zhao, is there a reception task for the factory?!"

Secretary Zhao replied, "There is no reception task. But just now Director Lou answered the phone and asked Director Yang to borrow He Yuzhu. The day after tomorrow morning, let He Yuzhu go directly to Director Lou's house."

"Wait here for a while, I'll go to his house!" Gao Yao turned around and ran to the kitchen. Not long after, Gao Yao brought He Yuzhu to Secretary Zhao. He Yuzhu asked, "Secretary Zhao, what do you want to talk to me about?!"

Secretary Zhao said, "The day after tomorrow, Director Lou's wife's birthday is coming up. He wants you to go to his house and cook. Director Yang has agreed. You can go directly to Director Lou's house the day after tomorrow." Secretary Zhao then took out a piece of paper and handed it to He Yuzhu, then said, "This is the address of Director Lou's house."

He Yuzhu took the note, looked at it, put it in his coat pocket, and said, "Secretary Zhao, please tell Director Yang that I promise to complete the task."

Secretary Zhao nodded slightly, patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder, turned and left.

After Secretary Zhao left, Gao Yao said, "Zhu Zi, Director Lou is a gourmet. When you cook, you must use all your skills."

He Yuzhu smiled and replied, "Director, are you still worried about me?" At this moment, He Yuzhu suddenly thought of Lou Xiao'e. In this life, no matter what, he must marry her. However, if he wants to marry Lou Xiao'e and get through the crisis safely, he must get rid of Xu Damao's family!

When there was no reception, the small restaurant in the back kitchen became He Yuzhu's lounge. After He Yuzhu returned to the kitchen to fry the remaining dishes, he went into the small restaurant. After sitting down at the table, He Yuzhu took out paper and pen, and took out Yan Jiecheng's homework book that he had taken from Yan Bugui's house two days ago. He carefully observed Yan Jiecheng's handwriting for a while, and imitated it several times on the paper. Feeling that it was almost done, He Yuzhu wrote in Yan Jiecheng's handwriting about Xu Damao being beaten into a fake man by Jia Dongxu. Then He Yuzhu walked out of the small restaurant, greeted his colleagues, and said, "Go to the toilet." Then he immediately went to the back kitchen. Taking advantage of lunch at noon, when no one was in the Propaganda Department, He Yuzhu stuffed the anonymous letter through the crack of the door into Xu Wood's special projectionist's office. Then he pretended to be indifferent, avoided people coming and going, and returned to the cafeteria.
